DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene ...

Preventing and treating cancer has become a global priority, with identifying cancer-driver genes being essential for understanding ... (CAS), in collaboration with other experts, proposed a graph ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Tagging gene-regulating DNA sequences with barcodes has advanced the understanding of gene expression control in the human genome. The study analyzed cis ...

That DNA contains instructions for the cell to keep the body working properly. Some mutations, such as BRCA genes which can make women susceptible to breast cancer, are inherited from a person's ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...

Significant gene variants were found in the loci DRD2, FURIN, and CYP7B1, which play a part in neuroinflammation, neurosteroid synthesis, and synaptic function.

Abstract: Identification of cancer driver genes is crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer. To address the limitations of graph convolutional networks-based cancer driver gene ...

The study’s lead author Brian Mustanski from University of Illinois at Chicago said in a UIC news release that "There is no one 'gay' gene. Sexual orientation is a complex trait, so it's not ...
